Yeah, but look--I had ta fix so many things whenever I was younger that I got fed up w/ it: I've killed quite a few bikes in my life & let several cars get repo-ed just because I came ta view 'em as disposable (in a lot of ways it was right)--I'd kill a bike then sit around for a couple months until I had some cash flow & go get another & terrorize the streets until it died. Thinking back on that I realize I could have done a few things differently; for instance, if I'd been real sold on a few of the bikes or, at least had an idea of what/where I was going/wanted, I could have fixed 'em or taken better care of 'em along the way & the same can be said of an old car; there's more to it these days because they aren't a dime a dozen any more, plus ya've got a little bit more flow ta keep it right than ya did. Well running 4 cylinder air cooled engine w/ proper maintenance can get 6 digits on the odometer easily--ya know--its time ta quit livin' as if you're 17 yrs old, bashful, awkward, & poor (might not be rich but I bet the last time ya drove your friends around ya didn't pass the collection plate--even if ya thought about it or did--ta get gas for the night's rendezvous', now did ya?, & if ya did, well hell, someday ya might not need ta). What I'm sayin' is those old cars are becomin' a luxury these days & half the time reasons many of us ever let 'em go was for one reason or another but, guaranteed, these days that old automobile is a little easier & less intimidating than it once was. They made it for yrs man w/ little & nothing--they'd do it again, especially if they can get a little more than they ever had.
